sonofsupercar is in.
A tribute to Blue Lang.

All credit to Glenn Case, who laid great BaseBalls over some of Blue’s unused drum tracks he possesses, then recruited Mo- from the classic 2004 sos lineup to add swirling guitar work.
In addition to the basic guitar, and typical first reading vocals of lyrics I’d just written, I employed the Banjo that Blue gave me that was featured on several sos songs in the past.

I know Blue would have certified Glenn’s production and mix, and embraced the certainty that the song will draw the ire of those who don’t like sonofsupercar.

Shooting for 5th place!

Oh wow that's awesome! Thanks Glenn for making that happen, and for the rest of the lineup for doing one more sonofsupercar song. I'm sure it'll be an amazing tribute.

wow. just wow.

Wanted to do 3 songs, Rone Rivendale, Rogue Fedoras, and RoneAI. However time limitations (work) has taken that down to 1 song, just RoneAI. It's a subtle tribute to SF as a whole.

If the listening party goes as scheduled, I'll be near 4 hours late because I get off at 11:30pm EST from work.

Good luck everyone, I hope we reach 100 still.

Utterly gobsmacked to see that after a nearly 10-year absence melvin is apparently in this one. Gimme the new song now now now.

I love that my twenty year old forum login still works. Oh, and hi, adding one to the stack!

This is fun. We've got a Chthonic Black song that is sure to lose and another fun one for the parade (w/ possibly the newest and youngest current Song Fighter! involved)!

Hi again! Been a while! I had no idea it was the 1000th fight until I got started, I just had been meaning to get back into it, checked the website, and happened to like the title. Social news, I'm Gareth (

) not Gareth (

) (mistakes expected/ok or I'd change it)

Of course I started writing something I liked so much I felt I HAD to record it, rushed recording in one night with unconditioned fingers, and really needed about 100 more vocal takes -- and to transpose the whole thing down a whole step or two

I wound up keeping an octave-down reference track to reinforce vocals even though it's off key. And of course, no time for production once I'm done splicing the best parts of the bad takes together... All that's to say, it's exactly like my other songfight entries

but 20 years later

OK, the song. Hopefully nothing else I submit will sound like this, I was compelled to finish and was mixing on earbuds and speakers

It's about "The Ones Who Walked From Omelas" and a person who won't be forgotten, I don't know how much of that makes it out the other side. Lyrics https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TDt ... IKP1A/edit

Posted: **Mon Mar 25, 2024 9:52 am**

Due to all sorts of mayhem, I am left with three unfinished songs and sadly will not have an entry in this milestone event

Posted: **Mon Mar 25, 2024 10:12 am**

just mush them together and submit!

Welcome back!

For what it's worth, I always thought of you as "Sparks."

And, nice to know I wasn't actually the only trans person here back then, after all.

Ha! But at 16 I had never heard Kimono My House, I thought I had inherited a great band name

Funny you mention it, if I give "Sparks" in a coffee line I get a look like I made it up

Anyway, I am pretty sure you were the first out trans person I knew in an online or offline community, so the benefit was entirely mine

Posted: **Mon Mar 25, 2024 10:56 am**

I seem to have had that effect on a lot of people, yeah.

Anyway, welcome back!

Maybe you could hand them off to volunteers/collaborators to complete?

This beautiful news! Thank you all for bringing Blue backing into the fabulous SF Rainbow

First "Now and Then" and now this.

Posted: **Mon Mar 25, 2024 1:17 pm**

Yeah, that's really nice, thanks to all involved.

Also, folks, get your songs in soon if you want to have any chance of being in the listening party.

Posted: **Tue Mar 26, 2024 10:52 am**

OK folks, last call. Any stragglers please try to get your songs in within the next 10-12 hours. We've done well but we're shy of 100 song so if anybody has any juice left you've got a little while to rally for a final push.

Posted: **Tue Mar 26, 2024 11:55 am**

I have time but no ideas. I could crank something out if anyone has any extra material lying around that I could finish/repurpose.

Posted: **Tue Mar 26, 2024 2:00 pm**

brought back a super old alias for this one

Posted: **Tue Mar 26, 2024 2:41 pm**

I’ll have to try to crap something out after I get home from the dentist and while my mouth is super numb.
